Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Cretaceous Period, Ghost Winged People_1
Feng Ju said, "These were all collected from the public, and each has its research value."
Chu Hao’s eyes gleamed at the prospect of money. "They must be quite valuable, right?"
Everyone was speechless, but they soon understood. After all, Chu Hao didn’t know what the Seventh District was.
Feng Ju laughed. "They’re just some broken pots and jars. What we want to see is inside."
As they went deeper, the air grew colder. Finally, they saw a pond where all the water had frozen solid, encasing something dark within the ice.
Chu Hao could see through the ice that the creature was gigantic. It had a body three to four meters long, resembling an ape with a very sharp head and a pair of transparent wings on its back, similar to those of a dragonfly.
The System alerted, "High-level ghost creature detected. Danger level: S-Class."
Chu Hao exclaimed in surprise, "A Ghost Winged Person!"
He had studied the Ancient Ghost Scripture and naturally knew what was described within.
The Ancient Ghost Scripture recorded thousands of types of ghosts and spirits. However, among those recorded, only a little over a hundred had actually appeared in the world, and each one was extremely terrifying.
Feng Ju was thrilled—Chu Hao recognized this thing?
Many people from the Seventh District had searched beneath the icy pond to no avail, and Feng Ju couldn’t help but admire Chu Hao for this.
Feng Ju said, "This was excavated from Kunlun Mountain. We’ve had many people study it, but we still don’t understand what it is."
Chu Hao said, "This is a Ghost Winged Person, an extremely ancient being. I don’t fully understand it myself."
Old Yuan asked, "Master Chu, how ancient is this creature?"
Recalling the records of the Ancient Ghost Scripture, Chu Hao said, "This creature first appeared a hundred million years ago in the Cretaceous Period. It’s extremely powerful and specifically hunted the strongest creatures for food, such as the brain marrow of a Tyrannosaurus."
Both men were shocked. A creature inside that hunted Tyrannosaurus? He had to be joking!
Chu Hao asked, "System, is this creature still alive?"
The System replied, "The System has detected that the Ghost Winged Person is in a state of hibernation."
So, it was still alive?
Chu Hao’s interest was piqued. With an S-Class danger level, I wonder how many Experience Points I would get for taking it down!
The System analyzed, "Based on the Host’s current capabilities, the chances of defeating the Ghost Winged Person are one in a thousand."
Damn! How terrifying is this thing?
Chu Hao turned to the two of them and said, "This creature is very dangerous and completely beyond my ability to handle."
Feng Ju cried out in alarm, "It... It’s still alive?"
Chu Hao nodded.
Leaving the warehouse, both men were in a deeply unsettled and complex mood.
Feng Ju announced that Chu Hao had become an instructor for the Seventh District, which excited many people.
However, someone was not happy. Chu Feng, upon learning that the disaster had been resolved, shamelessly showed up.
Chu Feng looked at Chu Hao skeptically and said, "Feng Ju, have you made a mistake letting this kid be an instructor? There’s no need for that. It’s more appropriate for me to be the instructor."
It was really because Chu Hao was too young. Setting aside this kid’s capabilities for the moment, if he became an instructor for Anli City’s Seventh District, wouldn’t that make him outrank Chu Feng?
The Seventh District had an extremely strict ranking system. An instructor’s authority was limited, roughly equivalent to that of a vice-director of a city’s Seventh District.
Old Yuan snorted, "Have you sent your granny off then?"
Chu Feng coughed awkwardly. "It wasn’t my granny, but my next-door neighbor’s granny."
"Hmph." Old Yuan was very dissatisfied with him; the kid had fled when things got tough.
Chu Feng looked at Feng Ju and said, "Feng Ju, with my abilities, there would be no problem for me to become an instructor for Anli City’s Seventh District. Why seek an outsider?"
Chu Hao looked at this guy and asked, "Who is he?"
To his surprise, Chu Feng laughed heartily. "You actually don’t know? HA HA... You’re killing me! Are you even part of our circle? Listen up, I am an A-Class Exorcist. People call me Chu Feng, the Ghost Genius!"
There were only three hundred and sixty-one A-Class Exorcists in the entire Huaxia Country.
Trying to show off in front of me, Divine Master Bi Wang?!
Chu Hao said indifferently, "Never heard of you. Are you famous or something?"
Chu Feng’s mouth twitched. "Nonsense! Are you even from this circle? Just go away. With me in the Seventh District, there’s no place for you."
Chu Hao’s lips curved upward as he said, "So arrogant. Does your dad even know?"
Chu Feng’s eyes turned cold. "Kid," he said chillingly, "are you looking for trouble?"
Chu Hao, with his hands behind his back, replied indifferently, "In the past, many have been arrogant in front of me, just like you. But... no one has ever withstood even a single move from me. I truly hope you can withstand two, because one is simply too boring."
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, earning 60 Pretentiousness Points."
Damn!! One move! Your bragging is making my balls ache, Chu Feng thought, staring at Chu Hao as if he were an idiot. He then said to Feng Ju, "This kid you brought in is bragging to the skies!"
Feng Ju looked coldly at Chu Feng. This young man had just arrived, thinking he was something special. Indeed, someone needed to teach him a lesson.
However, at this critical juncture, he didn’t want to offend Chu Hao.
"Master Chu, this person just arrived. Don’t stoop to his level," Feng Ju said.
Chu Hao waved his hand. "Ah, young people. It’s normal for them to be hot-tempered."
What the hell!! Chu Feng fumed internally, almost driven to slash the pretentious bastard. You’re younger than I am, yet you talk like some old geezer! What are you trying to pull?
Chu Feng said angrily, "Do you dare to compete?"
Chu Hao shook his head. "You’re too weak. I’m afraid I might hurt you."
Chu Feng sneered, "Could it be that you’re scared? If you’re afraid, just say so, then apologize to me."
Chu Hao replied seriously, "I’ve decided. I’ll finish you with one move. If it takes two, I lose."
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, earning 60 Pretentiousness Points."
Chu Feng’s face darkened. He decided he would teach Chu Hao a harsh lesson.
「In the training room of the Seventh District.」
Everyone watched the two men through the glass, their excitement palpable.
"Hey, hey... who do you think will win?"
"Definitely Master Chu! He’s the one who resolved seventy percent of the ghostly energy."
"Yeah! Compared to Master Chu, even if Chu Feng is an A-Class Exorcist, he’s no match."
"That Chu Feng guy deserves a lesson for daring to challenge Master Chu."
Chu Feng couldn’t hear the discussions outside. At this moment, he was quite relaxed. How powerful could Chu Hao be at his age?
He wasn’t just an A-Class Exorcist; he was also the national Sanda champion and one of the most formidable disciples from Longhu Mountain.
Chu Hao, hands still behind his back, asked indifferently, "Shall we compare martial arts or Taoist techniques?"
With his explosive temper, Chu Feng laughed. "You have no hope in martial arts, and even less in Taoist techniques."
Chu Hao tilted his head and sighed. "Still too young. Honestly, I don’t want to bully you. It’s not too late to admit defeat now."
Damn it!! That condescending old-man talk again, Chu Feng seethed.
"Let’s do martial arts then." Chu Feng flexed his fists, his knuckles letting out a series of CRACKS.
Chu Hao thought, System, purchase the Intermediate Marrow Cleansing Manual.
"DING... Host has purchased the Ultimate Marrow Cleansing Manual, consuming 1,000 Pretentiousness Points."
The Cleansing Marrow Scripture is expensive, but I’ve saved up 2,000 Pretentiousness Points recently. That 1,000 points doesn’t bother me much.
